About the performance

A duet between juggler and light, a duel between man and machine. 

“Just the Moon” is a surprising and physical circus and light spectacle that brings together juggling, acrobatics, and light design. Raff Pringuet shares the stage with a modern, motorized theater lamp. A human and an object searching for who or what they can be together. 

The artist throws, rolls, and catches himself and a few juggling balls with fluid precision, while the lamp uses its extensive range of light, colors, and movement to create a visual whole. Body, ball, and light play a harmonious game of appearing and disappearing. 

Then suddenly… a glitch? A technical error? Or is the lamp developing a will of its own? The peaceful duet devolves into a thrilling duel in which the lamp claims its place in the spotlight. A lamp that dances and juggles? Does that make the artist redundant? And can they still coexist peacefully? 

“Just the Moon” is wordless circus theater with a subtle comedic touch that sweeps young and old into an imaginative world full of excitement. At the same time, “Just the Moon” also touches on current themes such as technology, autonomy, and the increasingly blurred boundaries between human and machine. 

An ideal introduction to circus theater. The relationship between classical and modern is palpable on every level.
